Thank you for sharing some of your most intimate moments. It truly makes us all want to live better lives and cherish the relationships that we have.

Oh Tonya Joy,
You have reduced me to a puddle of tears! As others have stated, you are just amazing, both as a photographer and a storyteller. The love you have captured in these photos emanates off of the screen. My prayers are with your family and your mama as she goes through this trial.
To Sister Locken,
I had the blessed opportunity to live with Tonya and Alana in college. I consider them some of my dearest friends that provided me with some of my most cherished memories. Their humor was infectious, their intelligence was envious, and their love for their family was always apparent. Your daughters are proof of having a great mom! I will be thinking and praying for you!
Love,
Melissa

PS If you ever need a good laugh, I have some great stories and pics I can share! : )

I don’t normally leave comments on people’s blogs that I don’t know but I LOVE your work and your post completely inspired me. Your mother is such a beautiful person and her personality completely shines through her smile. I love these pictures that you took of your parents and even though I have never met them…their love shows. She is obviously an incredible person to have raised someone who can look at this trial as positively as both you and your sister seem to. Good luck to your mom and your whole family.

May god bless you family!
